It was Canada Night at the Celebrity Series on Saturday, The Chieftains brought Jon and Nathan Pilatzke and their wild Ottawa Valley step dancing and The Cottars from Cape Breton (among many others) to Symphony Hall, while down the street at NEC's Jordan Hall the St. Lawrence String Quartet held forth in what will likely be Barry Shiffman's last Boston appearance with the Quartet (he is leaving the ensemble to work for Canada's Bannf Centre).
Here's a bit of a photo journal from Saturday night at Symphony Hall:
The Chieftains wait backstage to go on...

Left to Right: Matt Molloy, Paddy Moloney, Sean Keane and Nathan Pilatzke, with Jeff White on risers in the rear (apologies to Triona Marshall, out of the shot on the left and Kevin Conneff, knee just visible on the right)
The Celtic Tenors, standing at the front of the stage, join The Chieftains as surprise guests
All in all, a lovely evening. More on the Canadians at Jordan Hall later...
All photos by me.
